Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower with spots 10.00 lower on some calves, mostly those under 450 lbs. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Cattle futures ended the day sharply lower following the news that President Trump will lower tariffs on beef imports and the futures market has lost significant ground over the last week, despite the cash market for fed cattle making new all time highs. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
